Abstract
A system includes sensors for monitoring signals, and a processing system executes one or more methods for identification of system events, from the signals, corresponding to state changes and performance of the system and/or its subcomponents. Event identification is performed with classification and/or other machine learning algorithms, with generation of novel training data sets. The sensor(s) can also be used to determine power consumption information about the system and/or its subcomponents. The system processes event-associated outputs for execution of actions for improving system performance, along with other downstream applications.
Claims20
A system for monitoring an apparatus comprising motor components, the system comprising:
- a sensor cluster comprising a vibration sensor operatively coupled to a motor of the apparatus;
- a demand sensor comprising a link to a vehicle interface of a vehicle comprising the apparatus, the demand sensor configured to monitor operational demand of the vehicle;
- a sensor interface comprising a housing coupling the sensor cluster to the apparatus, wherein the vibration sensor is positioned to monitor vibration induced by the motor through the sensor interface;
- a monitor coupled to the sensor cluster through the sensor interface, the monitor comprising a controller for sampling data derived from the sensor cluster and transmitting data from the monitor;
- and
- a processing subsystem comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon, that when executed by the processing subsystem perform one or more steps of:
